Andrej Karpathy makes a good point: as AI does more of the work, more of your job becomes reading what it produces.
His first tip caught my eye. Ask the model to explain things in ASD-STE100.
ASD-STE100 is a controlled English standard built for aircraft maintenance manuals. A mechanic anywhere in the world should read a step once and get it right.
The core rules:
1. Keep sentences short
2. One action per step
3. Say who does what
4. Give each thing one name and stick to it
AI output breaks that last rule all the time. It says "worker," then "agent," then "executor," and you can't tell if it means one component or three.
The full spec is strict. Karpathy asks for "80% of the way," and that works for daily use.
Someone turned it into an open-source skill:

Just a reminder that GLM 5.3 Flash, DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, Qwen 3.8 Next Flash, and even Qwen 3.8 27B are all outperforming (in both intelligence and capabilities) every model that was considered "frontier intelligence" in Xmas 2025 (just 10 months ago)
Opensource AI is on fire
An OpenAI co-founder spent 3 years quietly building Jev, only for someone to open source a better performing model in just 3 days.
โThis is exactly why starting an AI company right now carries way too much risk.
